Agate Bottle Stoppers

Anna Rabinowicz

Rock Stop

Many wines get better with age, and the same is true for this wine stopper. Made of a thin slice of Brazilian agate (formed when silica-laden groundwater passes through air pockets in cooling lava, ) these stoppers' luminous bands of color display their many years of development. These stoppers are vibrant, rich, and polished, but still maintain some of their natural rocky exterior, making them a unique hostess gift and a stunning addition to your home bar. Designed and assembled by Anna Rabinowicz in New York.

“Being a designer means looking closely at the world around us for inspiration and realizing that the things around us are really magical.”

A fragment of a shell, a colorful stone, a peculiar gourd—Anna Rabinowicz's creative process often begins with objects found on her trips to Brazil. "These pieces sit on my desk for weeks, sometimes months, while I study them and think about what they might become. Then I begin to sketch and build models; each comes to life as inspiration for a new piece," she says.

After studying Industrial Design at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, Anna received her masters degree in Design and Engineering from Stanford University. Her design company explores the use of natural, traditional materials and their juxtaposition with high-tech manufacturing techniques.

I bought this item for my father as part of a gift. When I received it, I immediately thought it wasn't nearly as pretty as on the website. The agate looked small compared to the picture. I realize that every piece is different, but it did not look like the same quality as on the website.

I think this will be a perfect wedding gift for my friend, my only complaint was that it was much smaller than I had expected and for the price. Oh well, I will surely be coming back!

When I bought this I was really excited about getting it. I love geodes and have been accumulating geode collectables for years. I have to say that it works quite well for its intended purpose and is very attractive while fulfilling this purpose. The only thing I have a problem with is its size. The one I received was so incredably tiny. I normally wouldn't take off 2 stars for this reason. .so I hope this attests to how incredably small it actually is.
